Joshsevo replied to the topic Anyone taken this recently in the forum GCFA – GIAC Certified Forensics Analyst 7 years, 4 months ago
Taking his course next week. Been wanting to take it for a few yrs and now I finally am.
I will do a write up on what I did and how I studied for it and my feedback from the course. I’m sure it will be great as its SANS and their material is top notch.

Ha sorry I forgot I brought this back from the dead. Can’t say much though. Fun job it seems. Reading over some things again and trying to read between the lines. It’s mostly a Pen Testing job. Cool beans!

It’s been a while, about a year since I started this thread. Some things are changing now though. Although working for the DOJ has been fun and I’ve learned a lot I’m moving onto a different agency. This new job will make me a more complete Security/Forensics/Pen Testing professional.

One of the issues that we have here is that people are not scared of the Gov/Military and want to discredit them as soon as they get a chance. Whereas in China the Gov/ Military are held in high esteem so they have the complete public backing and you have students that want have passion about their countries progression.
They recruit their kids…[Read more]

Reading books above your level of understanding will make you familiar with the terminology and possibly what it’s used for but if the topic is just way above your head then reading many books won’t help. What will help is doing different things, then go back and read the parts that you don’t understand again.

Joshsevo replied to the topic Good HDD Forensics tool on BT5 in the forum Forensics 8 years, 6 months ago
You may be out of luck all together and the HDD is just bad and nothing can read it or even see it. I had this 2 wks ago with a case I am working on.
It was a USB external drive. I tried it with Encase, FTK, a Knoppix boot CD, a Tableau TD1 and even a Tableau USB Bridge. Nothing worked. The computer wouldn’t even see it so we had to write a N…[Read more]

Joshsevo replied to the topic Hiding data in the forum Forensics 8 years, 6 months ago
Alternate data streams. We learned how to do them in a gov class I took. You can use a .txt file let’s say and save it and alter it somehow…by adding more text to it.. and the file size nor the file itself shows up. It’s pretty tricky.

Joshsevo replied to the topic Offtopic tidbits in the forum General Certification 8 years, 7 months ago
Techno all the way. I only listen to Trance and I have a playlist with high tempo songs that also gets me in the zone. I will be typing, then stop think and then FIST PUMP for a few minutes.
Another thing I do is tune into iTunes radio ah.fm again techno. Good stuff. Leads to more fist pumping and clicking repeat.

I agree with you. Sorry if it was assumed the notes would get me by the entire test. I was just wondering how you guys were structuring your notes. I will take all of your input and see what works for me and then go from there.

Joshsevo replied to the topic CPT Cert and Practical (new guy here) in the forum Network Pen Testing 8 years, 7 months ago
Once you get the root password for both machines the practical side of the cert is done and there is nothing else that you really have to do. Turn your report in and be happy that you got the cert. Just make sure everything is documented.
I just passed this in December and thought I failed but a few days later got word that I passed.

Joshsevo replied to the topic Is it true? in the forum General Certification 8 years, 11 months ago
MaXe,
NATGeo never lies, nor does the internet. So if it’s on the internet then it must be true since Al Gore made the internet.
It was just an interesting comment. I don’t know what the definition of the “hacking tool” that he presented and where he got that number. Maybe you are right about the whole exploit as a tool. Maybe that’s wher…[Read more]
